Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates. If I did my coordinates right, they should lead you right into the center of Putah Creek, which forms the northern boundary of Solano County. In order to find the true coordinates, you must find all 10 of the Welcome To.. Geocaches placed in each city and town throughout Solano County. In each cache you will find a digit to the coordinates for the final cache, located in a nearby park. 


I grew up in Solano County, and over the last 21 years have spent a lot of times traveling its highways and byways, speeding along its many backroads, and visiting its towns, both big and small. These experiences have given me a love for the county in which I have called home for many years. In honor of these many memories and experiences, I've created the Welcome to Solano County series! As mentioned before, in order to find the coordinates for the final cache, you must find each of the Welcome to.. caches and find the digit written on the inside of each cache container. Each city and town in Solano County has one. No container in the series is exactly alike, and their locations vary.

My hope is that as you find each cache, you'll get a new appreciation for an area of California that often gets overlooked, but in fact has a special place in many people's hearts. Here you'll find links to each cache.

Final cache is located in a popular county park that is one of my favorite places to go for peace and quiet. It's a tupperware hidden with some cover, so please be sure to replace with plenty of natural camo. Contents at the time of hiding included a log book, trackable, pocket Kleenex, pen, and a Where's George $2 bill. 

As you find each cache in the series and the final, feel free to share any experiences or memories you have of each town and the county. Whether you're a lifelong resident or just passing through, I hope you enjoy this little tour of Solano County, the crossroads of California! 

Enjoy!
